BPH Game Plan Starts with U: Catch the Whole Game

Mike Schmidt, Hall of Fame third baseman and three-time Most Valuable Player from the Philadelphia Phillies, has teamed up with Minor League Baseball™ to launch the BPH Game Plan Starts with U: Catch the Whole Game, a national campaign to raise awareness of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and encourage men to see their doctor for an annual prostate screening exam.

BPH, commonly known as enlarged prostate, is a progressive but manageable condition in which the prostate becomes enlarged and/or the muscle of the prostate and bladder neck constrict causing frequent and urgent needs to urinate, the feeling that your bladder is full even after urinating and waking up several times during the night to urinate.

Mike Schmidt will be traveling to cities across the country to speak at Minor League Baseball games about his personal experience with BPH and UROXATRAL® (alfuzosin HCl 10 mg extended-release tablets) and to urge men to consult their physicians about their symptoms and develop their own game plan. To see if Mike will be coming to a city near you, please click here.

BPH is one of the most common health problems in older men, affecting more than eight million men in the U.S. About half of all men 50+ and as many as 90 percent of men 70+ are affected by symptoms of BPH. Although some of the symptoms of BPH and prostate cancer are the same, BPH is not cancer and does not increase the chance of getting prostate cancer.

BPH Game Plan Starts with U is an awareness campaign that is supported by sanofi-aventis.
